Irish lace motifs and crochet patterns

...

Irish lace is one of the most interesting techniques in crocheting. The Irish lace cloth consists of plenty of motifs joined together at the end to create a desired masterpiece. Clothes in this technique look amazingly light and stylish. Mostly patterns like flowers, leaves and petals are used in the Irish lace. They all are arranged and connected with each other by a net and bridges (crosspieces). As a result we get a graceful floral composition. Further, we will create 4 floral motifs and patterns for crocheting.
